Physics

A tank holds a 1.44-m thick layer of oil that floats on a 0.96-mthick layer of brine. Both liquids are clear and do not intermix.Point O is at the bottom of the tank, on a vertical axis.The indices of refraction of the oil and the brine are 1.40 and1.52, respectively. A ray originating at O crosses thebrine-oil interface at a point 0.5 m from the axis. The raycontinues and emerges into the air above the oil. What is the anglethat the ray in the air makes with the vertical?

The answer is 44.6. I need an explanation as towhy this is the answer. Thanks!
